Goulash is a hearty meat stew that originated in Hungary but has become popular in Bavarian cuisine. It is made from tender chunks of beef or pork, cooked with onions, garlic, paprika, and other spices. The stew is slow-cooked until the meat is tender and the flavors are well-developed. Goulash is often served with a side of bread or dumplings, making it a comforting and satisfying dish.
